Timeline: Earth’s Continents Through Time
The timeline below shows you how Earth’s continents have changed location through the Phanerozoic Eon. How has the location of your home changed through geologic time?

As you go through the timeline, notice how oceans have opened up and closed and how the continents have migrated around the globe. This is all because of the action of plate tectonics.
